Handed cannabis to police at checkpoint
When police stopped a car at a checkpoint the driver handed over a quantity of cannabis to them.
Mathew Minish (18), Selshion Parade, Portadown, was fined £150 last Wednesday at Craigavon Magistrates Court for unlawful possession of a class B drug on December 18. Minish handed over the cannabis to police when he was stopped at a checkpoint.
There was nothing of a similar nature on his record. Mr Richard Monteith, defending, said the drug was valued at £25 and his client had pleaded guilty and answered questions at the scene.
